 Riding the Rim

 Terry Forrette is working to change the world - or at least his piece of it - one mile at a time. A long-time motorcycle rider, Terry is combining his passion for motorcycle touring with his concern for the disappearing Louisiana's wetlands into a new project called "Riding the Rim."

In celebration of Earth Day 2007, Terry embarked on a 3 month, 12,000 mile motorcycle tour around the perimeter of the contiguous 48 States to raise funds and awareness to help restore Louisiana's coast - an area known as America's WETLAND. Riding the Rim Page.
